Exporting array to Lua

Hi all,

I have a problem in exporting an array member of a struct to Lua
(snippet in footnote). I noticed that currently Lua cannot do this, so
I searched and found this:

http://old.nabble.com/how-to-bind-a-raw-array--td21440448.html

It lists the wrapper methods to convert the Lua table into the
corresponding array. However, it uses luabind::argument, which is not
found (deprecated feature?) so I change it to object and the methods
can compile. Now, if I use the get function, the program can compile,
but it can't if I also pass the set function. I include the error
message below. So, did I do something wrong here? Any help on this
issue is appreciated. Thank you very much.

Regards,
Nicholas Mario Wardhana



//=====================snippet
//
struct FragmentEdge
{
	// ...
};

struct Fragment
{
	FragmentEdge e[4];
};

luabind::object get_data_Fragment_e(Fragment* const f, lua_State* L)
{
	luabind::object result = luabind::newtable(L);

	for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
		result[i + 1] = f->e[i];

	return result;
}

void set_data_Fragment_e(Fragment* const f, luabind::object const& table)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
		f->e[i] = luabind::object_cast<FragmentEdge>(table[i + 1]);
}

// export function
class_<Fragment>("_Fragment")
	.def("e", get_data_Fragment_e, set_data_Fragment_e, raw(_2)) ,
